2016 Top NFL free agents - running backs

[The Huddler]

Im thinking ivory

 

Tough

Fast

Hits the hole hard

 

Just watch his highlights that dude is physical

 

Edit:

 

This is also considering price. People are screamin for martin and miller but FUCCK that price tag. Ivory hits the sweet spot for me all considering

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

Arian Foster will likely be cut as well.

[stankowalski]

I'd like to stay out of the FA market for running backs.  How's the FA market looking for tackles?  That would be my first choice.

[rayzor]

Of all the positions I think we need to address, RB in FA is not one. RB in the draft. Get your mileage out of them while they're young and cheap. Let someone else pay for them on their downward spiral. Any other position I would be fine with in FA.

[joeyxfresco]

We should spend on tackles......and Weddle haha 

[SmokinwithWilly]

I like Forte. It's being reported that he wants to go to a contender, and he would be a major threat as a receiver out of the backfield while not having to carry the full load at RB. I'm a fan of Morris as well, but for the chance at a ring instead of a payday, Forte could be a hell of a bargain.

[General_Purr]

Forte is the only one that really sticks out to me. We dont need another bulldozer to just run straight ahead into the O line. Need some guy with some smarts who can do it all...... since we don't have TG3. Other than that Im cool w Stew Wheger CAP

It would be fun to do some shopping this year but.

Stewart:

8/11/2012: Signed a six-year, $37.811 million contract. The deal contains $22.5 million guaranteed, including a $9 million signing bonus. Another $6 million is available through incentives based on 1,200-yard rushing seasons and 1,600 all-purpose yard seasons. 2016: $5 million (+ $750,000 workout bonus), 2017: $5.5 million (+ $750,000 workout bonus), 2018: $1 million, 2019: Free Agent

About a 7.25 million cap hit next year?

Johnson:

7/29/2011: Signed a six-year, $76 million contract. The deal contains $32 million guaranteed, including a $30 million signing bonus. Johnson is eligible for an annual $250,000 workout bonus in years two through six. 2016: $10.75 million, 2017: Free Agent

About a 16 million dollar hit?

What can we do to lower or especially in Johnson's case eliminate it?

Johnson is getting cut, or taking an outright paycut...we'll be clearing 11 million from a cut of CJ.  Stew is trickier. If he's played his way into staying, he makes his money.  Or, he's a June 1st cut, save around 4 million IIRC. Which could be enough to sign an Alfred Morris perhaps. 

 

I ran some numbers on probable cut players a few weeks ago, and we can end up with around 35-40 million in space, while keeping Kalil (another big cap hit) and Stewart's numbers as they are I believe. 

[CPantherKing]

No need for RBs. OTs and Receivers please.

[davideinstein]

Roll the dice on Forte then draft a RB in the later rounds to develop.

[pantherj]

Forte would pair nicely with Stewart.

[Zithers]

Forte is actually intriguing as a receiving option but I wouldn't see the point in having him get many carries when we have Stew on the roster.

Lamar Miller is obviously a good player but someone is gonna pay him and we aren't going to pay anyone except our own guys.
